Smart templaters cache templates and results. The REALLY smart ones
compile the templates into perl code and hold them as a reference to
an anonymous sub.

Read Andy Wardley's paper on www.template-toolkit.org. He talks about
its positioning between the programmer and designer.
For the record, I've just done a by-the-book mod_perl-ed Template
thing and it's very quick. I'll be doing a lot more on deep-purple.com
very soon.
